Anaheim District Barbershop

March 30, 2019

Finding a good barbershop isn’t hard these days. There’s tons of guys out there who can cut up a nice fade. Go on Yelp and you’ll find a dozen trendy barbershops in your area that overcharge for a simple haircut.

A good barber is a cornerstone of proper manhood

You can check my other post about the previous barbershop I would frequent in Long Beach. There’s something about certain shops that have that nostalgic feel. It’s more than the things hanging on the walls, it’s a feeling. And it sure doesn’t feel like a $50 hit in your wallet.

I’ve gotten cut at Anaheim District three times now and each time I leave the place, I have this swelling of pride and community walking out the door. The guys who run the place are super welcoming and I find myself grinning ear to ear laughing at the banter and bullshit that goes on in there.

It’s a gathering place for honest working people who need a good haircut and wouldn’t mind some good conversation either. It’s like those guys are my cousins I hardly ever got to know growing up but now see as adults.

I told them I was a Photo teacher at Orange and wouldn’t you know it? One of the guys is an alumnus from back in the late 70’s. Honestly, I love it here. It feels so earnest, almost like stepping back in time.

I never worry about wait times or how long the haircut will last. Every minute sitting in that chair is time well spent learning about the lives of my fellow man. Damn, I can’t say enough good things about this place.

From the decor, the clientele and the atmosphere of the room, you’d never guess that this place is only a few years old. I sure hope it sticks around for many more.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to buy one of these brushes from the barbershop. I used to imagine that most guys walked around with one of these in their pocket and it was a symbol of manhood like wearing deodorant or smoking cigarettes. How dumb.
I believe that this Freddy’s car parked out front. If you get a chance, check out this place. It’s right off Anaheim Blvd and South.

Cory and Angela

December 23, 2017

A few weeks ago I took Carter over to meet Cory’s new dog Rocco for the first time. Back when Cory still had Schwoops, Carter was the annoying puppy who didn’t know when to quit. Fast forward to today and Rocco has taken that spot pushing Carter into the role of the grumpy older dog. […]

Jiu Jitsu is (Still) Fun

July 16, 2019

I’m not taking a ton of personal photos at the moment. I thought that summer would offer more free time but as it happens, I picked up a few side gigs to earn some extra coin. I’m still training jiu jitsu when I can which is basically about 1-2 times a week. More often than […]

Not a lot of writing for this one, just some photos from nogi and open mat this past week at Jiu Jitsu League. I’m gonna miss training this often but it’s back to school where I’m probably going to be teaching 8 periods this year…
